Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel

We are traveling on the cruise over Easter Break and are Catholic. Are there any church services available on the ship?

- Asked by Jennifer from Michigan on 2/14/2014

Welcome aboard, Jennifer! I'm happy to hear that your family is looking forward to spending Easter at sea with Disney Cruise Line! If you've never sailed with Disney before, you are really in for a treat. In fact, even if you have sailed with Disney before, there is always more magic in store each time you sail, so get ready for a fun vacation!

My family is Catholic too, Jennifer, so we are always concerned with being able to attend Mass each Sunday, no matter where we are. Of course, when we're at the Walt Disney World resort, we simply pull up masstimes.org and check which Catholic church is closest and which Mass time best works for us. But, since you can't look in the middle of the ocean for Mass times, that won't work for the cruises, so our best bet has been to book a cruise that is in port on a Sunday so we can find a local Catholic church.

However, you're in luck because Disney Cruise Line invites a priest on each ship over Easter and Christmas sailings. You should expect to have a Catholic Mass onboard your cruise since you'll be on it over Easter. I can't imagine a more unique way to enjoy Easter Mass... at sea! In case you have non-Catholic friends sailing with you, they might be interested to know that a non-denominational service will be held onboard too. What a wonderful Easter you'll have this year, Jennifer! Thanks for stopping by with your question. If you have other questions before you set sail this spring, please stop back again! I'm happy to help!
